I'm trying to install TeamViewer on Xubuntu 13.10, 64 bit version. There is "known" problem with the 64 bit package on their website, hence its advised to install the 32 bit version. (As explained here: Installed Teamviewer using a 64-bits system, but I get a dependency error)

I've followed all the steps in the above listed answer, but I end up getting the following error, when using gdebi (or other errors in "manual mode"):

Cannot install 'libc6:i386'

I'm trying to use apt-get install on this lib give various errors.

How can this be solved?

I have Xubuntu 13.10 64 bit, just like yours, I guess, I got teamviewer to work on my machine, and I did that just because I promised to give you an answer :)

First, I downloaded this TeamViewer, then I opened a terminal and did:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 and then sudo apt-get update

and then I used Gdebi to install TeamViewer, it downloaded all the dependencies, you can find Gdebi in the software center and yes you don't need gdebi, you can use the software center or dpkg to install the package, I'm used to Gdebi, old habits die hard.

In case you still see that libc6:i386 error, download Synaptic package manager from software center too, and make sure that, the packages marked in blue are installed

At least that's how it works on my computer. I don't really know if you need both packages, or only one or maybe another one, I don't know, and I don't care as long as it's working.

It look like there is no a package, as sysads.co.uk reports:

On newer 64-bit DEB-systems with Multiarch-support (Debian 7) teamviewer_linux_x64.deb cannot be installed because the package ia32-libs is not available anymore on these systems. In this case you can use teamviewer_linux.deb instead.
